and I will be found of you, saith Jehovah. And I will turn your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith Jehovah; and I will bring you again into the place whence I have caused you to be carried away captive.
Jeremiah 29:12 And ye shall call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you;
Jeremiah 29:13 and ye shall seek me and find me, for ye shall search for me with all your heart,
Jeremiah 29:14 and I will be found of you, saith Jehovah. And I will turn your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith Jehovah; and I will bring you again into the place whence I have caused you to be carried away captive.
Jeremiah 29:15 If ye say, Jehovah hath raised us up prophets in Babylon;
Jeremiah 29:16 yea, thus saith Jehovah concerning the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and concerning all the people that dwell in this city, your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity;
The verse centers on "found", "saith", "jehovah", "turn", "captivity", "gather", "nations", and "places". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "found" and "saith", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 13's "and ye shall seek me and find..." into verse 15's "If ye say Jehovah hath raised us...", so "found" and "saith" belong inside that flow. In Jeremiah context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "found" and "saith" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
